وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الأُمَوِيُّ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ. زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ ، قَالَ: وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ، أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ ، بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ زَهْدَمٍ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ.وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَيَحْلِفُونَ وَلاَ يُسْتَحْلَفُونَ.
This Hadith was narrated from 'Imran bin Husain from the Prophet (s.a.w): "The best of this Ummah are the generation to whom I was sent, then those who come after them." In the Hadith of Abu 'Awanah it adds: "He said: 'And Allah knows best whether he mentioned the third time or not"' - like the Hadith of Zahdam from 'Imran. In the Hadith of Hisham from Qatadah it adds: "They will swear oaths but they will not be asked to swear oaths."

"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
